vacation rental description

In the heart of South Carolina’s Lowcountry on the beautiful pristine Fripp Island nestled on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean you will find DOLPHIN WATCH VILLA: our spacious corner OCEANFRONT VILLA.  We are in the North Hampton complex with panoramic views of the ocean, Fripp inlet and easy access to the Ocean Point Golf Course.  The ocean is your backyard, just fifty feet away. 

Our scenic location will inspire you to rise early to see the sunrise over the Atlantic, while sipping your morning beverage on the veranda. Watching how the sun shimmers on the ocean can be mesmerizing.  During the day you can lose track of time bird-watching or waiting for the next DOLPHIN sighting. Enjoy the sound of the waves splashing against the rocky shore. You will want to stay up late to search for the "big-dipper" amongst the many stars shining down on you. You may decide to pull yourself away and take a stroll along the beach or one of the paths and be delighted when a deer comes your way. However you decide to spend your time here you will enjoy our location and the ambience of our villa. If romance is on your schedule the sunsets on Fripp can not be beat.

FRIPP ISLAND is a secluded private gated community and a designated nature preserve it is 3.5 miles long bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and Fripp Inlet it.  The island offers activities for all ages: GOLF (two award winning beautiful and challenging eighteen hole courses), TENNIS courts (eight soft and two hard surface), SWIMMING pools (six), CAMP FRIPP for children 3-12 years of age (offers a fun filled day with education, crafts, nature and beach trips, pool games and much more), trails for jogging, biking and scenic walks and a fitness center. You can also rent boats, kayaks, jet skis, mopeds and golf carts. There are excursion boats for dolphin watching or just a relaxing day or evening on the water. Fisherman can test their skills along the tidal creeks.  There are numerous restaurants each offering a different type of cuisine and a view of the island. 

Quotes from our guestbook:

Nancy & Jeff - Michigan
"The villa was spotless. Hard to believe that this special spot
could be improved upon, but you have managed to do just that with
all your special touches."

Steven & Gina - Ohio
"Each day here we found one more thing we liked about your villa!
The sunrises were incredible and the dolphins stopped by to
say "hello" just about everyday."

Lynda & Brad - Iowa
"When we rented a villa called "Dolphin Watch" we were
skeptical...we saw many dolphins everyday. The description of the
villa was without exaggeration. Everything promised was delivered
and the n some."

This was our 5th visit to Fripp Is. But our first time staying at this end of the island.  And we are hooked! Great location, awesome views & lovely villa.  What a combination.  The Dolphins didn’t disappoint us & plenty of herions & egrets pelicans.

We will be back.  Thanks for the use of your wonderful home.

PS: Thank you for the welcome gift.  It was a nice touch & much appreciated.

traveler reviews for this fripp island villa rental

Consistantly Wonderful

T and B (Hudson, NC)
Review submitted: March 14, 2009   Date of arrival: January 29, 2009

Every stay at Dolphin Watch has been excellent. We know when we leave home that we will find a clean, comfortable unit with relaxing decor. Because it is a corner unit, the view is amazing. We see dolphins nearly every day, as well as deer and an occasional alligator. We prefer the beach in the winter. If the weather is pleasant, we enjoy being out on the porch or walking on the beach. If it is not, the unit is so light and well-equipped, that being indoors becomes a treat! Sunrises over the water are spectacular, as are sunsets over the golf course (from the back of the unit). The owner is responsive and pleasant to work with. We enjoy Dolphin Watch so much that it makes the review sound like an exaggeration, but it is not! We feel relaxed and renewed after each trip to Dolphin Watch.

Recommended for: age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers, sight seeing, romantic getaway

Owners response: We are so pleased to know that our comfort is your comfort as well. We appreciate you and your review. Thank you.

Excellent view- location- villa

Review submitted: February 1, 2012   Date of arrival: August 20, 2011

We rented Dolphin Watch Villa the end of August 2011 and have been to Fripp Island before, but this villa by far was the best place we stayed to date! The villa was spotless- location was breathtaking and the hosts were more than accomodating! We hope to get back there soon and hopefully be able to rent the same villa! Definitley would recommend to everyone looking for a quiet, peaceful vacation spot.

Recommended for: adventure seekers, age 55+, sight seeing, tourists without a car, romantic getaway

Owners response: We are gratified to know that those that share our home enjoy the experience. We also appreciate that you would take time to share your experience with others. Thank you so much.

Great place

Jennifer151 (Gatlinburg, TN)
Review submitted: August 31, 2011   Date of arrival: July 2, 2011

This was our 2nd trip to Fripp and our 1st in the Dolphin Watch Villa. We spent a week during the July 4th weekend. Although the island was busy, we had no problem accessing the beach, pools etc with the rental of our golf cart. The villa was perfect for our family of four, which included our children ages 2 and 4. It was very clean and had everything we needed for the week. The view of the ocean from the deck was spectacular as we saw dolphins, turtles, otters, birds etc. We took sightseeing trips on the golf cart everyday to see the deer and alligators. Gaye's Seafood right off the island is a great place to buy fresh seafood. We will definitely keep this villa in mind the next time we visit Fripp. Thanks for allowing us stay in your beautiful condo. We'll be back!
